Some Family Secrets... Should Remain So!

Granny Adams made such beautiful pies! One day I asked her, "How do you get such beautiful pies with the crimps around the edge so even?"

"Well, it's a family secret," she said.

"But I'm family," I protested.

"Okay, if you promise not to tell, I'll let you in on it." replied Granny.

"OK", I said. "Tell me!

"Well, first I roll out the dough, making sure it is flat and even. Then I cut out the bottom layer and carefully put in the pie plate and make sure it is firmly against the sides of the plate.

Then I slowly pour in the filling, making sure that it's not too full. Next I cut out the top layer, and carefully put it on.

Finally, I take out my teeth and just run them around the edge of the pie crust, and they make the nicest even impressions you ever did see!"
